Micah 7:18, “Who is a God like unto thee, who pardoneth iniquity, and who passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? Who retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” Now God hates sin, but He loves the souls of the sinners. And He wants to save them. You see, judgment is called God’s “strange work.” And it’s strange because He doesn’t like to do it. He’d rather not. But He’s a holy God, and He hates sin, and any rebellion against Him must be dealt with. But He still loves the souls of the sinners. And He wants to save them and will save them.
